DEMOCRAT Briefs Specialized beetles fatal to invading loosestrife A year after 20,000 leaf-eating beetles were released in the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, the verdict is in: death to purple loosestrife, a weed that invades wetlands, choking off native species.

Cornell University botanist Bernd Blossey at the refuge in Seneca County yesterday demonstrated the power of two specialized beetles and their larvae, both of which have a killer appetite for the weed's vital leaf tissue. Since 1992, Blossey has coordinated a mass beetle production and release program. The beetles can reduce purple loosestrife by 90 percent in treated wetlands, he said. An alien stowaway in 19th century ship ballast, the weed has invaded swamplike areas in every continental U.S. state except Florida.

Orange seep not toxic, say area health officials The vivid, persistent orange "seep" at the Route 390 North exit ramp for Vintage Lane in Greece is a common bacterium not toxic chemicals, according to the Monroe County Department of Health. Water samples from the site were analyzed in a state laboratory near Albany for herbicides, chlorine-based pesticides, PCBs, heavy metals and volatile organic compounds that are toxic when inhaled. Elevated levels of iron and manganese were found, but are expected alongside the harmless iron bacterium Gallionellaferruginea. And very low levels of DDT-like pesticides were found, a likely result of one-time orchards in the area and not a public health threat. The seep, investigated in 1986, was a concern to health activists.

"We hope we'll be able to find a building underneath," said Green, an expert in world religions.

"If we find evidence of a previous structure, that would really be significant. No first-century synagogues have been found, even though the Bible tells us Jesus visited them." The synagogue is well-pre 2B BY STAFF WRITER KEVIN BRYANT HICKS Robert Ingram has been following the the welfare reform issue closely on television and in the newspaper. Ana though the Gates Democrat applauds what he's seen, he believes coverage could be better. "In Monroe County, we know the (welfare) rolls are decreasing, but we don't know where the people are going," said Ingram, 47. Ingram was one of about 23 people who attended last night's Voice of the Voter meeting at Greece Town Hall.

Voice of the Voter, a collaboration that began in 1996 among the Democrat and Chronicle, WXXI Public Broadcasting and WOKR-TV (Channel 13), brings citizens' issues to the forefront in election coverage. With elections this fall for governor, attorney general, U.S. Senate and House and state legislators, participants were asked how and what they would like the media to focus attention on. Organizers intend to take the top five issues identified during these forums and conduct a statewide poll just before the primary to determine how all New Yorkers feel about those issues. The results of the poll will be published shortly before the primary election.

Voter apathy and frustration over political promises that aren't delivered were concerns of Lynda Siemer, 42-, a Greece resident. "It's like they (politicians) never Hospitals FROM PAGE IB of high-pressure, high-temperature washer. Strong expects to clean about 1.4 million pounds of waste a year by autoclave. Since 1995, Strong has reduced by 73 percent the amount of medical waste, said Marvin Stillman, the hospital's manager of environmental compliance. The survey found that most hospitals have programs to reduce their reliance on highly toxic mercury but 37 percent use thermometers and blood pressure measuring devices containing mercury.

Strong and the Monroe County Health Department are working together on a manual for mercury reduction, Stillman said. Strong, for example, has stopped buying blood pressure devices with mercury. Although the hospital bought about 8,000 mercury thermometers last year, Stillman said almost 40 percent have been replaced with electronic thermometers. The hospital is replacing mercury-based devices as technology and cost allow, Stillman said. The environmental groups favor the use of intravenous bags free of polyvinyl chloride, a major factor in dioxin emissions when waste is incinerated.

Strong is among the 4 percent of hospitals using the polyvinyl-free bags. But Strong is among the 78 percent of hospitals that do not have a hospitalwide program to reduce the use of polyvinyl products. Almost half the hospitals, including Strong, have programs promoting the use of products with minimal packaging. The survey also found that Strong had a better-than-average recycling program. But Strong does not have a program supporting reusable products rather than single-use or disposable items, the survey said.

"We found many hospitals talk 'greener' than they act," said Charlotte Brody, national coordinator for Health Care Without Harm The report cited the Albany Medical Center as having model chemical recycling and mercury-reduction programs. served: Its south-facing and highly detailed facade is still intact, Green said.

While they may find gold coins or other items, says Dr. Ron Rabinowitz, "There is the lure of treasure, but not what people think of as gold," said Rabinowitz, a pediatric urologist and UR Medical Center professor who is associate director of the dig, "We're looking for the treasure of knowledge and history of western civilization."

said those words. I understand that they are just one vote in a sea of many, but there are very few that follow through" on promises, said Siemer. Among the promises that some felt politicians have reneged on is what proportion of state lottery funds go to support education. "A certain amount goes to education when they see fit," said Frank Cantisano, 78, of Greece. Other key concerns were how legislators address health care and how they keep the state competitive when it comes to good-paying jobs.

Julie Ulrich, 24, said she'd like to see more coverage of how universities are helping to retrain people for the openings that companies are looking to, fill when considering whether to relocate to a community. "Part-time, full-time jobs. They've been throwing away brilliant economic soundbites forever, but I know a lot of people who are having a hard time finding work," said the Greece resident. A strutting turkey who pecks at truck halts mail delivery The associated press ALBANY The U.S. Postal Service has run afoul of a fowl.

A wild turkey lurking in an Albany neighborhood has taken a keen dislike to the mail truck. Residents have seen the bird pecking at the truck's tires and chasing it. Several times over the past week, the mailman refused to deliver the mail because, as soon as he pulled up, the male turkey trotted out and fanned his tail feathers wide enough to fill a front door. The bird is about 24 to 30 inches tall. "For the safety of the driver, he has been instructed not to get out of the truck when the turkey is there," Postal Service spokeswoman Mary Madonna told the Daily Gazette of Schenectady.

State wildlife biologist Karl Parker speculated that the bird, viewing the truck's eagle emblem as a male competitor, may be strutting his stuff to protect his hens. Neighbors said they like having the turkey around. They have suggested the mail carrier park the truck out of sight and walk.
